Steps to sell courses online

1- Choose your Niche

Before creating your online course, choose your niche. Decide on the topic that you would be creating a course on. Many course creators do not decide it in the beginning. As a result of which they could not sell their course. Because it could not provide the value that learners are looking for. So, they end up feeling that they have wasted their time in creating the course.

So, before making any other decisions, choose your niche first. Try to figure out

• What are you good at?
• What is something that you’re passionate about?
• And what is something that is required in the market?

2- Choose the course format

3- Create the course content

After deciding the course format, start working on the creation of course content. You should create at least 70% of the course content in advance before launching the course. Make sure you are recording videos through a high quality video recording camera. Because high quality videos will provide a good learning experience to your learners. You will also need a professional video editing software. You can also hire a video editor, if you don’t know how to edit videos.

4- Choose LMS platform

Choose the LMS platform where you will sell your online course. There are various platforms out there. Pick any one from them according to your wish and budget. You can also go for Spayee.

Also mention how your course can help them in achieving their desired results.

When you will add your course to your chosen platform you will have to set the price for your course. Don’t keep the price too low or too high, price it wisely.

5- Launch your course

There are mainly two ways of launching an online course.

1. A Timed Launch

A timed launch is where a learner can purchase the course within a specific time window whereas an evergreen course can be purchased by the learner at any time.
